Submarines - Extreme Technology - Big Bigger Biggest

Ғылым және технология

At 171 metres long, the USS Pennsylvania is the biggest submarine in the US Navy. It can dive deeper than a thousand feet, sail for 20 years without refuelling, and remain submerged for up to 6 months. The vessel carries a crew of 155 men and a deadly nuclear arsenal. The film investigates how this submarine was made possible through a series of six historic engineering breakthroughs. We explore the inner workings of six landmark submarines, including the tiny Turtle and colossal German U-Boats. Each features a major technological innovation that allowed engineers to build bigger submarines, including the development of underwater breathing, torpedo’s, missile launch systems, and stealth technology. Using computer-generated imagery this film reveals the incredible stories behind these machines and the inventions that have allowed them to grow in size. Six ingenious leaps forward enabling submarines to evolve, from BIG, to BIGGER, into the US Navy’s BIGGEST.

    Ive always been curious about this, what was your guys food like? In boot, we had a recruit who complained about the food and one of our Di's chewed him out and said something like "If you wanted good food you should have joined the Airforce or tried for the subs, in my Corps you eat what you get and you learn to love it!" On that day I also learnt that the heating packs for food were supposedly for officers, LOL . Which of course was not true, but became the norm much later when we would field strip our MRES to cut weight.

    As a crew member on the USS Growler, SSG-577, we served up to 3 months per mission. This was a diesel electric (batteries) boat where air, water and food were all at a premium. Like the "leap 5" boats in this excellent video we had to surface to launch our strategic Regulus missile AND guide them to their designated targets with radar. Upon release of the Polaris boats information we were green with envy, where they had gold and blue crews who swapped every other period at sea we we had black and blue crews (no swapping). Brings back fond memories.

    I had the good fortune to be sail boating off Maui when a Los Angeles class submarine surfaced in the waterway between Maui and Lanai. It cruised past me majestically, and then another surfaced and cruised near the first submarine. A few submariners were on deck of both submarines. I lost site of them when I rounded Polihua Beech to continue my day sail. But it was a highlight of my 5 years on Maui. All my nearly 6 decades living near Bremerton, never saw one. Go live on Maui for a few years and see 2 at the same time. Fricking awesome!

    Chapter timestamp/footnote for "32:08 Nuclear Strike - USS George Washington "mentions CVN-73 (CV = Carrier Vessel/Aircraft Carrier, N = Nuclear Propulsion); I think you meant to put the hull designation of the similarly-named submarine instead. The one you're mentioning is SSBN-598 (SS = Submarine/Submersible Ship, B = Ballistic Missile, N = Nuclear Propulsion). I love the video! I used to serve on the same class of submarine featured in this video (SSBN-738 / USS Maryland).

    I used to work on the periscopes on the Los Angeles class subs. I thought these boats were big, until I got to see an Ohio class “boomer”. Now these are big boats. That was back in the 70’s and 80’s. When I retired in 92 the newer scopes didn’t even penetrate the “people tank”. These were inside the sail. They had cameras instead of actually seeing the light coming throughout the tube section to an eyepiece. You just looked at screens. Pretty neat. I got to see into the reactor once, now that topped everything. The only thing they would run out of underwater was food. Submariners are very unique people, it not just for anybody. I almost went that route. All are volunteers. Highly intelligent to start with, and they do years or training.

    You aren't blind at all. You just have a different way of seeing, primarily via sonar. You build a literal map of what is around you. And when your boat is quieter, and your sonar more sensitive, and your stack operators better trained with much more experience than the bad guys, the idea of combat isn't scary at all. A real world combat scenario between a US and a Russian sub would go something like this: US sub CO: Is the target solution still up to date? US: Aye aye. Per standing orders we've been in their baffles since they left port. US sub CO: We've just received orders to engage. Flood tubes 1 and 3 and fire when ready. Helm 20 degrees down and hard right rudder on my command. Russian sub sonar operator: Captain, we have a contact directly aft. It's Death.

    As a kid I grew up on the beach near Seattle where the Bremerton ship yard is. They would take submarines out in Puget Sound for testing and I would take my 16' ski boat out to watch them. I would be paralleling the submarine, at a distance, when all of a sudden this large, noisy plume of water would spray up meaning the submarine was getting ready to dive. I would tag along and watch it go under until you would never know anything was there. It was kind of creepy, but cool.

    After the Type VII U boat, there shouldve been the type XXI that really revolutionaized the entire concept and is the true grandfather of ALL modern submarines. First type U-boat in human history that was from the drawing board designed as meant to be operated 99% underwater rather than as a surface ship, like the earlier U-boats that mostly used to dive for rather short amounts of time, and only to evade destroyers and such... the Type XXI on the other hand, was pretty much designed and built to do everything... while underwater.
